shhh… just breathe
fret no more
it is time for
they have always
been there curling
ideas seeding
thoughts through
whispered fogs
tendrils writhing
under prickly
skin you wear
way too tight
for moving free
it will only
hurt a moment
air on virgin skin
touched by
the first time
out of the cage

About Ijagun Poetry Journal

Ijagun Poetry Journal is a quarterly journal that provides a platform from which we can tell our own stories in the authenticity of their multiplicity through the poetic medium. We don’t want to hear these stories from our master “griots” alone; we want to hear from those mastering their art, too. Hence, we aim at publishing new and emerging poets. We also welcome the works of established poets in order to encourage the poetic genius of those mastering poetic art. We prize original works that conform to, break or reinvent conventions. Again, we accept reviews and critical essays on poetry. We also accept powerful art works and photographs that make us appreciate the "poetry" in everything.
